NICE! Looks like JHS was the one who spilled the beans after all. Looks like Woodson can recruit after all.

Severance on Apple TV is pretty intense. Basically, people have agreed to “sever” their work and home selfs. The home self never has to go to work, but the work self never gets to go home. We are four episodes into it and liking it. Patricia Arquette and Christopher Walken are in it.

Apparently, now they are saying that he called to turn himself in at a McDonalds in the East Village, then waited there for the police. When they didn’t come, he left and started wandering around. And THEN the 21yo dude saw him and called the cops. This dude left his credit card and keys at the crime scene and then apparently continued to ride around on the subway until he tried to turn himself in the next day. There are cameras and cops EVERYWHERE. So glad that the roughly $7K I pay each year in NYC taxes (in addition to the state taxes) gets us Barney Fife from Mayberry as our police force. Maybe if the NYPD would look up from their phones for once, they might see something.

Us too! They have been able to retrace his turnstile swipes (b/c he was dumb enough to leave a credit card and his keys at the scene) and he was in our stop shortly after the shooting on Tuesday morning. Pretty spooky.

It’s pretty well shot too. Like /8really* well done - they were planning a movie of the making of the album apparently. And the finale shot the roof of Abbey Studios is phenomenal. I actually hadn’t really read much about that before and didn’t realize the police were involved.

Looks like some 21 yo New Yorker saw the suspect in the East Village and called in to the NYPD. That dude is going to be hero status for sure. What’s creepy is that the Metrocard purchased with the suspects credit card seemed to be used at another Brooklyn turnstile at 6pm last night. Creepy to think he was still active on the subway then.

It’s certainly not surprising anymore, is it? Just seems like a routine happening until the next one.

The While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Happiness Is a Warm Gun back to back is so killer on the White Album. And I like pretty much everything else on that album. The dysfunction during the documentary was intense, but like you said, they still just created such gorgeous music. In Get Back, when Paul is just noodling on the guitar alone trying to work out a tune and you realize you are watching him stumble onto the iconic Get Back riffs, it just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Oh, and George is my favorite Beatle. Always has been and still is.

Wife has been on a Beatles kick since we watched the Get Back documentary. I’ve always liked them, but was never a super fan. Definitely have a new appreciation for them since watching. LONG documentary, but still well worth it.

We use that line to get to work and into Manhattan from our place. The shooting was an express stop south of our place though in Sunset Park. Plus, I had PT Tuesday morning at 8am, so I was already in Manhattan at that point. Pretty damn scary though! Thank you for thinking about us. Thank you, my wife was working from home and I was already in Manhattan when it happened. That is our line though - N/Q/R - and just south of us. Oh man, let me know if you guys reschedule and if you want recs of places!

Nice! I have an employee at work, young millennial girl, who shoots film and even develops color film at home. Not sure how we got to talking about it, but she’s really into it. I’m loaning her my Hasselblad b/c she’s never shot medium format.

You know your film. We are doing Capri and Amalfi Coast, so thinking it’s a great match! Portra is just so damned expensive these days, and it seems like most of the photographers using it are really into that overexposed and overly dreamy look. I can barely look at Portra shots these days b/.c they all look the same.

Those old zooms are classics. Just have to check for mold, etc. if they’ve ben sitting in storage. That sounds like a killer roadtrip! Yeah, the Olympus Zuiko glass from that time period was pretty special. I’ve had a lot of SLRs (Nikon, Pentax, Canon, and Minolta), but this OM-1 just feels so right in my hands. Even has the original “hippy strap” with it. I normally take a film and a digital camera on big trips, but for our May Italy trip coming up, I’m just taking the Olympus with a fistful of Kodak Gold 200 film. I love how that stuff looks - just looks like summer in the 1970s!

I’ve got my grandfather and great grandfather’s pocket watches that I keep meaning to get fixed. Also have a 1971 Olympus SLR camera that I still use today. My father in law gave it to me and he had used it when my wife was growing up, so all 41 of her years on this earth have been captured by this 51 year old camera. I think that’s pretty cool! I used to have an old wooden Eastman 8x10 camera from 1917 that I used to drag around NYC in a suitcase for a few years. My wife took this shot of me using it on the East River.

He should definitely lose his license for a year. There needs to be consequences, but not “lose your job” consequences.

Have spent more than one weekend in jail for stupid stuff. Have driven at insane speeds high out of my mind, and have actually totalled my motorcylce on the interstate (falling asleep while riding after a cocaine binge). Things can and do happen when you are young. Sometimes you want/need to test boundaries and see how far you can push things. Doesn’t make it right, but kids and young people often don’t understand or know what the right things are. It can take time to be a reasonable, law abiding adult.

“Stewart declined to tell police who was driving the car during the pursuit.” At least we know Parker isn’t a snitch.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool of him.

Thank you, they always get a compliment or two when I wear them.

Could be a cop on a power trip. But it could also be that X screwed up and deserved it. No way to know until the details come out, and even then it’s often a matter of who gets to provide those details.

Not a “wait in line at Kith” level of sneakerhead, but I do like a good pair of kicks. I’ve started buying custom Nike’s from their website over the last couple of years. It’s amazing that you can pay $10-15 more and pick all the colors you want. My latest is this cream and crimson Air Force 1 shoes.

Reserving judgement for now. I’m a big XJ fan, but this is not a good look at all. And right after doing the cool classroom thing? I’d like to think the latter is a more true view of his character.

I graduated in 86 and the years between graduation and joining the military are “my lost years.” Was a singer in a (very) local band, and spent pretty much every night partying until 3am. My first IU season was the 76 team and had never missed a game up until 85 or 86, when other interests started taking over. I was at a party at some random person’s house when I realized this game was on. People were crowded around the TV yelling, and I don’t think I even realized it was the championship game at the time. I stood there transfixed as the clock ticked down, slowly realizing this was the championship. We all lost our sh*t when the shot went in. The next season I was back in my rightful place in front of the TV for every IU game.
